Wigan forward Paul Prescott was taken to hospital with a suspected broken ankle after tonight's 19-12 derby defeat at St Helens.
The Warriors also lost Great Britain front-rower Stuart Fielden with concussion just three minutes into the engage Super League match and he, too, is doubtful for next week's Challenge Cup semi-final against Catalans Dragons.

And when there's darkness all around, you shine bright for me, you are a guiding light to me....
You are a Tower of Strength to me" - Wayne Hussey, The Mission.

But might not get him. If he's diagnosed as having concussion then there's a mandatory rest period before players are allowed to play again.
Not looking good then????? Fielden COULD be a VERY big miss, as could Prescott, who I think does some very good work that goes un noticed.

Ashton to comeback anyone????????
:conf: Yes Ashton in the forwards what an ideal replacement!!!What planet are you on if you think that the loss of Fielden and Prescott can be made up by getting "Chris run the other way Ashton" back into the squad. :conf:
Fraggle I believe if they pass various tests they are deemed fit now after being concussed. Back in the day it just use to be an automatic fortnight out.

Prescott seems jinxed
That's correct, cp; they take various tests (reflexes, reactions and such) at the start of the season, to establish a benchmark, and they have to get close to the same results to be allowed to play again after a concussion.
